Antimicrobial studies of N - N ′-dicarboxydiethyloxamide and its Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Neutral complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized from the oxamide-based ligand derived from leucine and diethyloxalate. The structural features have been deduced from their microanalytical, IR, UV/Vis, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. The Co(II) and Ni(II) chelates have octahedral geometries and the Cu(II) chelate is a square-pyramidal geometry. The non-electrolytic and monomeric nature of the complexes is shown by their magnetic susceptibility and low conductance data. The biological activities of the ligand and its metal chelates against gram-positive and negative bacteria and fungi are also reported. All the compounds are antimicrobially active and show higher activity than the free ligand.     

Hydrogen-bonded networks based on manganese(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of N,N′-dimethylurea

A project related to the crystal engineering of hydrogen-bonded coordination complexes has been initiatied and some of our first results are presented here. The compounds [Mn(DMU)₆](ClO₄)₂ (1), [Ni(DMU)₆](ClO₄)₂ (2), [Cu(OClO₃)₂(DMU)₄] (3) and [Zn(DMU)₆](ClO₄)₂ (4) have all been prepared from the reaction of N,N-dimethylurea (DMU) and the appropriate hydrated metal perchlorate salt. Crystal structure determinations of the four compounds demonstrate the existence of [M(DMU)₆]²⁺ cations and ClO₄ ^– counterions in (1), (2) and (4), whereas in (3) monodentate coordination of the perchlorate groups leads to molecules. The [M(DMU)₆]²⁺ cations and ClO₄ ^– anions self-assemble to form a hydrogen-bonded one-dimensional (1D) architecture in (1) and different 2D hydrogen-bonded networks in (2) and (4). The hydrogen bonding functionalities on the molecules of (3) create a 2D structure. The complexes were also characterised by room-temperature effective magnetic moments and i.r. studies. The data are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and the known structures.     

Heterobinuclear copper(II)–lanthanoid(III) complexes bridged by N,N′-oxamidobis(benzoato)cuprate(II)

Eight new -oxamido-bridged copper(II)–lanthanoid(III) heterobinuclear complexes described by the overall formula Cu(obbz)Ln(Me-phen)₂NO₃ (Ln = Y, La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Me-phen represents 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen), have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (i.r., u.v., e.s.r.) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and by molar conductivity measurements. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(obbz)Gd(Me-phen)₂NO₃ has also been measured over the 4.2 300 K range. The least-squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, = –2 J ₁ · ₂, yielded J = + 2.18 cm^–1. The observed Gd^III–Cu^II coupling is ferromagnetic. A plausible mechanism for a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd^III–Cu^II is discussed in terms of spin-polarization.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of heterobinuclear copper(II)–iron(II) complexes with N,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamidocopper(II)

Six new -oxamido heterobinuclear complexes, namely [Cu(oxap)Fe(L)2]SO4, where oxap denotes the N,N-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L represents 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO2-phen); 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl-phen); 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen); 2,2-bipyridine (bpy); and 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridine (Me2bpy), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. spectra, electronic spectra, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and molar conductivity measurements. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities of [Cu(oxap)Fe(bpy)2]SO4 (1) and [Cu(oxap)Fe(phen)2]SO4 (2) have been studied in the 4.2–300K range, giving the exchange integrals J=–20.9cm–1 for (1) and J=–22.5cm–1 for (2). These results are commensurate with antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent metal ions within each molecule.     

Complex Species in Aqueous Solutions of 4-Chloro-1,2-Phenylenediamine-N,N,N′,N,'-Tetraacetic Acid with Magnesium(II), Calcium(II), Strontium(II), Barium(II), Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II)

Abstract

The coordination in aqueous solution of 4-chloro-1,2-phenylenediamine-N',N',N',N'-tetraacetic acid (4-Cl-o-PDTA) with Be(II) and with the transition metal cations cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) was reported in earlier publications.^1,2 In this note a study is presented of the coordination in aqueous solution (25°C, 1 = 0.1 M in KC1) of 4-CI-o-PDTA acid with magnesium(II), calcium(II), strontium(II), barium(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II).     

Studies on platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of some N,N′-disubstituted thiourea derivatives

Summary A series of new Pt^II and Pd^II complexes of N,N-disubstituted thiourea derivatives of general formulae [MLCl₂]₂, [ML₂Cl₂] and [ML₄]Cl₂ have been prepared and characterised by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The reaction of these ligands with [M(DMSO)₂Cl₂], M = Pt, cis- or Pd, trans-, in CHCl₃ and EtOH at ambient temperature or under reflux, is described.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dapt) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Reactions of anhydrous CoX₂ (X?=?Br^?, SCN^?) and Ni(ClO₄)₂ with N,N,N′,N′-tetraisobutylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dbpt), N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropyl pyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dppt), and N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dept) lead to the formation of [Co(S-dbpt)Br₂] (1), [Co(S-dppt)(SCN)₂] (2), and [Ni(S-dept)₂]·(ClO₄)₂·H₂O (3), respectively. The X-ray crystal structures of the three S-dapt ligands and three complexes along with spectroscopic analyzes are presented. The molecular structure investigations of the S-dapt ligands show that the thiamide planes are twisted with respect to the pyridine ring, which is more in the case of phenyl groups. The structures of the Co(II) complexes reveal that an increase in steric crowding on the amide side arms of the ligands has no substantial effect on the geometry adopted by the corresponding complexes. The Co(II) gives only 1?:?1 five-coordinate, ion-paired complexes with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Ni(II), on the other hand, prefers an octahedral geometry with 1?:?2 metal–ligand ratio. The coordination behavior of S-dapt has been compared to the analogous oxo(O-daap) ligands. Lesser propensity of S atom to get involved in H-bonding interactions ensures an S-N-S type of tridentate coordination by S-dapt.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-cobalt(II) complexes ofN,N′-1,2-propanedisalicylamidatocuprate(II)

Summary The binuclear metal complexes [Cu(sampn)Co(L)₂] (L=bipy, phen), have been prepared by the reaction of sodiumN,N-1,2-propanedisalicylamidatocuprate(II) heptahydrate, Na₂[Cu(sampn)] 7H₂O, with a divalent metalion, and 2,2-bipyridine or 1, 10-phenathroline. The complexes were characterized by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements; the results indicate that a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction operates between the metal ions.     

Microwave assisted synthesis and characterization of N,N′-bis(salicylaldehydo)ethylenediimine complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)

Microwave chemistry is a green chemical method that improves reaction conditions and product yields while reducing solvent amounts and reaction times. The main aim of this article is to synthesize the tetradentate N₂O₂ ligand [HO(Ar)CH=N–(CH₂)₂–N=CH(Ar)OH] and manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II) complexes of the type ML by classical and microwave techniques. The resulting Schiff base and its complexes are characterized by ¹H NMR, infrared, elemental analysis, and electronic spectral data. The ligand and its Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes were further identified by X-ray diffraction and mass spectra to confirm the structure. The results suggest that the metal is bonded to the ligand through the phenolic oxygen and the imino nitrogen.     

Thermal decomposition kinetics of polymeric complexes of copper(II) and mercury(II) with N,N′-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine

The thermal decomposition behaviour of polymeric complexes of Cu(II) and Hg(II) with N,N-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine is investigated in air by thermogravimetric (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The kinetic parameters (non-isothermal method) for their decomposition have been evaluated by graphical as well as by least-squares methods. The equations of Coats-Redfern, Freeman-Carroll and Horowitz-Metzger have been applied. The results indicate that the values ofE,A and S obtained by these three different methods agree well. It was also found that the decomposition of these metal chelates follow first-order kinetics.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG, DTG und DTA wurde das thermische Zersetzungsverhalten von Polymerkomplexen aus Cu(II) bzw. Hg(II) mit N,N-Bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazin an Luft untersucht. Für ihre Zersetzung (nichtisotherme Methode) wurden die kinetischen Parameter sowohl graphisch als auch durch Methoden mit den kleinsten Fehlerquadraten ermittelt. Dabei wurden die Gleichungen von Coats-Redfern, Freeman-Carroll und von Horowitz-Metzger angewendet. Alle drei Verfahren zeigen übereinstimmende Resultate fürE, A undS. Es wurde weiterhin gefunden, daß diese Metallchelate einer Reaktion erster Ordnung unterliegen.

Structural characterization of dicyanidobis-(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-κS)cadmium(II)

A cadmium(II) complex dicyanidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-S) cadmium(II) [Cd(Dmtu)₂(CN)₂] (1) is prepared and its structure in the solid state is determined by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. The cadmium(II) ion is four-coordinate having a distorted tetrahedral geometry composed of two cyanide C atoms and two thione S atoms of N,N′-dimethylthiourea (dmtu). The molecular structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-H…N(CN) hydrogen bonding interactions that lead to a 3D network structure. The complex was also characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of N,N′-bis(2-cyanoethyl)-5, 7-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane

Summary Reaction of 5,7-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane with acrylonitrile gives the dicyanoethylated ligand (L). The Cu^II complex [CuLH_-2]·2H₂O has been isolated from basic solution where the macrocycle is deprotonated and acts as a dinegative quadridentate ligand. The ligand L is protonated in acidic solution and the ionisation equilibria can be summarised as LH _inf2 ^sup2+ LH⁺ +H⁺; K₁ LH⁺ L + H⁺; K₂ where pK₁ = 3.05 and pK₂ = 5.94 at 25 °C and I = 0.1 mol dm^-3 (NaNO₃). Complexation with Cu^II can be represented by the equilibria at 25 °C. Cu²⁺ + L [CuLH_-1]⁺ + H⁺; log_{11 – 1} = -3.43 Cu²⁺ + L [CuLH_-2] + 2H²⁺; log_{11 – 2} = -9.18 For Ni^II only the single equilibrium is of importance. Ni²⁺ + L [NiLH_-2] + 2H²⁺; log_{11 – 2} = -14.45     

Synthesis,structure and methyl methacrylate polymerization of cobalt(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with N,N′,N-bidentate versus N,N′,N-tridentate N,N′,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amines

Mononuclear Co(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes derived from bidentate or tridentate N,N′,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amines (L_n = L_A, L_B), where L_A is N,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)-3-methoxypropan-1-amine and L_B is 3-methoxy-N,N-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)propan-1-amine, have been synthesized and characterized. The geometry at Co(II) and Cd(II) for [L_ACoCl₂], [L_BCoCl₂] and [L_BCdBr₂] with N,N′,N-tridentate ligands (L_n = L_A, L_B) can be described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid achieved by coordinative interaction of N_pyrazole, two halides and the nitrogen of amine moiety. However, the molecular structure of four-coordinate [L_AZnCl₂] can be best described as tetrahedral, resulting in an eight-membered chelate ring. [L_ACoCl₂] polymerized methyl methacrylate in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane at 60 °C and resulted in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) with higher molecular weight and narrower polydispersity index compared to the other synthesized complexes. However, all the synthesized complexes yielded syndiospecific PMMA, characterized using ¹H NMR spectroscopy, with ca. 0.70.     

Syntheses and structures of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes with N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides (O-daap) containing nitrate as the counter ion

Reactions of M(NO₃)₂?·?xH₂O [M?=?Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)] with N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides(O-daap) in CH₃CN yield [Co(O-dmap)(NO₃)₂] (1), [Co(O-deap)(NO₃)₂] (2), [Co(O-dpap)(NO₃)₂] (3), [Ni(O-dmap)(H₂O)₃](NO₃)₂] (4), [Ni(O-deap)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)](NO₃)] (5), [Cu(O-deap)(NO₃)₂] (6), and [Cu(O-dpap)(NO₃)₂] (7). X-ray crystal structures of 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 reveal that O-daap ligands coordinate tridentate to each metal, O–N–O, with nitrate playing a vital role in molecular and crystal structures of all the complexes. The coordination geometry in the two Co(II) complexes, 1 and 2, is approximately pentagonal bipyramidal with nitrate bonded in a slightly unsymmetrical bidentate chelating mode. [Ni(dmap)(H₂O)₃](NO₃)₂ (4) and [Ni(deap)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)](NO₃) (5) exhibit octahedral geometry, the former containing uncoordinated nitrate while the latter has one nitrate coordinated unidentate and the other nitrate outside the coordination sphere. The Cu(II) in [Cu(dpap)(NO₃)₂] (7) occupies a distorted square pyramidal geometry and is linked to two unidentate nitrates, although one nitrate is also involved in a weak interaction with the metal through its other oxygen. IR spectra and other physical studies are consistent with their crystal structural data. O-dmap?=?N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides; O-deap?=?N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides; and O-dpap?=?N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides.     

Synthesis,structure and magnetic studies of copper(II)-nickel(II) complexes withN,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamidocopper(II)

Three novel heterobinuclear complexes have been prepared and identified as [Cu(oxap)Ni(L)₂](ClO₄)₂·ξH₂O, where oxap denotes theN,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L denotes 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen). The crystal structure of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O has been determined. Crystal data: triclinic, space group , a=12.079 (6), b=12.409 (4), c=17.261 (8) ?, α=70.91 (2), β=86.72 (4), γ=89.19 (3)^o. At room temperature, Z=2. The Cu^II is in a square planar environment and the Ni^II is in an octahedral environment. The Cu−Ni distance is 5.292 ?. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O and [Cu(oxap)Ni(bipy)₂](ClO₄)₂ have been studied in the 4.2–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J=−92.4 cm⁻¹ for bipy and J=−94.3 cm⁻¹ for phen. These results are commensurate with antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-MII-copper(II) trinuclear complexes with N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamidocopper(II) [M = Co and Ni]

Summary Two novel trinuclear complexes were prepared, namely [Cu₂(oxae)₂(H₂O)₂M] (ClO₄)₂, [oxae = N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl) oxamido dianion; M = Co and Ni]. Based on elemental analyses, conductivity measurements and i.r. spectra, the complexes are proposed to have extended oxamidobridged structures. The magnetic susceptibility of [Cu₂-(oxae) ₂(H₂O)₂Co](ClO₄)₂ were measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian, =–2J(₁·₂·₂·₃). The exchange integral, J, was found to be equal to –29.2 cm^–1, indicating an antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the adjacent metal ions.
